[Heizou is indeed inside, where he's been waiting. For a while he was reading while he waited, but then he got restless and kind of just started pacing around. Now he's in the kitchen pouring out some tall glasses of water in anticipation.
He looks up when the door opens and smiles at both Venti and Wanderer in greeting. Though there's definitely a tinge of worry right along the edges of it.]
[Heizou tuts at Wanderer as he moves back into the kitchen to re-examine what food he has stocked up.]
Thank you, Venti~ Everything tastes better when it's fried, my dearest Wanderer! But if you're so picky, maybe you should arrange our menu tonight. And then once we've eaten, we can have some more wine~
[He looks over at Venti with a playful wink. Your pout is very obvious, sir.]
[Heizou chuckles as he steps back, giving Wanderer a fond smile. Free reign in his kitchen?]
Always, dearest~
[And then he goes to rejoin Venti where he is, taking a moment to look him over and make sure he's not too far gone just yet. Slipping one hand into his and gently brushing his bangs out of his eyes with the other.]
He's quite the impressive chef, you know! Would you like to watch the master at work together~?
[Well... It's not the worst Heizou has seen Venti. And at least they're home, so him getting really drunk won't be so bad. He smiles fondly at the god and gives him another little kiss on the nose.]
Yes. Yes, it is.
[Heizou's hands are a little occupied at first, and he can really only free up one hand to try to catch the hat as it flies toward them. He fumbles it for a second, but he does just barely manage to keep it from falling to the floor. And when it does he turns to stick his tongue out playfully at Wanderer.]

Ah, there you are. Welcome home!
no subject
[Venti is as laid back as ever as he holds Wanderer's hand and comes to Heizou's side and reaches for his hand as well.]
I'm sorry it took us longer than expected to arrive.
[Although laid back Venti is also hiding a lot of certain emotions. For now, he'll look to Wanderer and then to Heizou and smile softly.]
no subject
I don't mind. I'm just glad you're both finally here~
[He also hands Venti one of the glasses of water he'd poured out, just before turning to Wanderer and giving him a little cheek kiss as well.]
Tell me you two ate already. I thought about making something, but Wanderer doesn't like when I make fried food...
no subject
Because it's unhealthy. I'm unaffected by fats and oils and even I know that.
[Hmph.]
But no, I haven't.
no subject
Hm, I think I am a bit hungry...
[He giggles.]
Wanderer, you should at least try some Mondstadt cuisine sometime! You might find you like some fried things every now and then!

gladlycook. At least they'll eat, that way.]If you two get hungover, I won't treat you.
[He will.]
Am I allowed free reign, Heizou?
no subject
[Venti perks up.]
Your cooking? That would be a treat.
[Sorry Heizou, he does want to see Wanderer's cooking!!!!!!!!]
no subject
Always, dearest~

[Rice, meat, veggies, sauces...]
You're in luck. You have enough for fried rice. Here.
[He tosses his hat at whoever wants to catch it and grabs an apron. Oil stains are a bitch to clean out.]
no subject
Sorry, he's way too drunk to catch a hat-]
Ehe! It's ... It's nice that the three of us can spend some time together like this. Isn't it?
[There's a softness in Venti's voice. He ... He's very glad these two are still here with him.]
no subject
Yes. Yes, it is.

Fried rice, huh? Sounds good to me~
no subject
[So shut your face.
He starts cleaning the rice and chopping everything up.]
I'm not making any sweets, though.
[Unless someone does a cute face at him or something.]
no subject
[Venti gives him his best cute smile...]
Won't you stay here with us?
[As in, move in too????]
no subject
[Heizou giggles a little, also making a cute face as he puts Wanderer's hat on over his own head.]
Won't you, Wanderer? The more the merrier, you know!
no subject
Do you mean the night, or for longer term? I have a cat, you know.
[He is a cat, let's be real.]
